House Rules

Armageddon

Rule: Change to Conjuration (Calling).

Change: Such a high-level powerful spell with a huge sacrifice should not be thwarted by protection from evil.

Celestial Brilliance

Rule: Change the duration to 10 minutes per level.

Change: The original is 1 day per level. What in the world is that? It’s craziness, that’s what!

Elation

Rule: The school is enchantment (compulsion). The range is close. The target becomes one creature. The speed boost is a morale bonus.

Change: Just giving +2 morale to strength and dexterity, at range, is enough. +2 non-enhancement to two stats is about equal to a +4 enhancement to one stat, plus it’s at range. Then add in the +5ft to speed and it’s better. Allowing this spell to affect all allies in an 80ft-radius spread was ridiculous. I’ve clarified the school and the type of bonus for the speed.

Sanctified Spells

Rule: Clerics cannot spontaneously cast sanctified spells (from other prepared slots) – the sanctified spells must be prepared like any other spell. Classes that spontaneously cast spells still can, obviously (e.g. favored soul).

Change: Sanctified spells could be cast spontaneously. Having a plethora of additional spells that clerics may cast spontaneously greatly improved the flexibility and therefore power of Good clerics. Clerics are already powerful enough without that benefit. The minor sacrifices required for these spells did not compensate enough for the unbelievable flexibility.

Vision of Heaven

Rule: The school is enchantment (compulsion).

Change: Clarifying the school.

Warding Gems

Rule: The cost of each gem is reduced to 50gp.

Change: 500gp is a crazy amount. No one would ever spend that much for the material component of a spell that only heals 10 points – even as a free action. Insanity, really.
